After a two year hiatus, I'm back on YouTube (and other platforms) - and the content is going to be much better.
I last posted a video on my YouTube channel in February 2022. It actaully did quite well - 400 views when you only have 600 subscribers is a win. There's nothing in that specific video that led me to stop posting to the platform, and I can't put my finger on any other reason other than I just stopped making stuff.
I did have a go at short form content on Instagram and TikTok with the launch of Sex Ed Shorts, and under that banner I have a video of me showing how to do the finger prick STI test that's got half a million views - but again, I just stopped making content.
So what stopped me coming back? I think I thought my content had to be better. It was ... fine, nothing more. The problem was I was a little impatent, and sometimes I didn't want to commit the time - particualrly on a weekly basis - to making the quality of content needed. But there is a solution;
Make less content!
So here we are in February 2024. I've planned this return for about 2 months. I've got myself some new branding (thanks to Evie at Pink Taco Design) and I've got a database of potential videos. Now I just have to make them - but not as often as I used to do.
My plan is simple. Make one high quality YouTube video a month. Well researched, well scripted, well produced. It doesn't have to be Spielburg, but it does have to be good. No more vids written, shot, and edited in 3 hours flat. I'm going to take my time and make it content people want to watch, like, and share. Sound good to you?
So, here we go - back in action.
